So with that in mind, why is Sprint still using key real estate
-- the glass front to its 23rd/Broadway store, the Flatiron
Building location that's featured in many Sprint television
commercials -- to advertise a crappier, year-old phone?

Last Friday afternoon, when hundreds of people were crowded
around the Apple store to buy new iPhones, all Sprint wanted to
show off in these windows was the Samsung Instinct.

Plenty of Pre signs at other Sprint stores in New York, but not
the one that thousands of people walk past every day. This should
be the biggest, most beautiful Palm Pre shrine in the world.
Another opportunity wasted.
